Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peeling and Grating Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler, then grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

  2. 2

    Draining Excess Water

    After grating, drain the potatoes in a colander and press them down to remove as much water as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy hash browns.

  3. 3

    Chopping Onion and Garlic

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heating the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cooking the Hash Browns

    Add the grated potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Press down with a spatula to flatten. Cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

  3. 6

    Flipping the Hash Browns

    Once golden, carefully flip the hash brown using a large spatula. Cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

  4. 7

    Adding Onion and Garlic

    In the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the chopped onion and minced garlic over the top of the hash browns. Cook until the onion is translucent.

  5. 8

    Finishing with Butter and Seasoning

    Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
